Because of this, Huangfu Lingyao felt even more guilty!
Upon hearing her question, he really wanted to immediately say: Yes, I lied to you. I’m not foolish. From the beginning, I was not foolish!
But the words stuck in his throat and couldn’t come out.
“If…” he carefully selected his words and asked, “I mean, if, the person who deceived you did something you couldn’t accept?”
Specific problems require specific a.n.a.lysis! On this point, he didn’t know where her bottom line was, so he could only probe and test.
Seeing him tangled up with this question, Liu Shimei’s expression became somewhat inexplicably tense. She appeared silly and cute, not thinking too much, just finding her silly dog really adorable!
She laughed and said, “Well… if it’s something very serious, something I can’t accept, then I would…”
The more she hesitated, the more nervous Huangfu Lingyao became, his palms sweating!
Liu Shimei tilted her head, seriously pondered for a moment, and gave an accurate answer, “If this deception caused me significant harm, I would never forgive or let go of that person in my entire life! If that person also harmed my loved ones or anyone I care about, even if it’s at the ends of the earth, I would pursue them to the end!”
Huangfu Lingyao:!!!
He decided not to confess!
Unable to determine her bottom line, and hearing her words full of determination, he dared not confess!
Never forgive in this lifetime!
Will not let go of that person!
To the ends of the earth, pursue them to the end!
In the face of such a storm of determination, how could he dare to tell the truth?
The key is, even if she a.n.a.lyzed specific problems, he couldn’t grasp how big this ‘significant harm’ really was.
He didn’t know how severe the nature of his deception was!
Seeing the silly dog suddenly fall silent, hanging his head as if lost in thought, Liu Shimei reached out and took his hand, smiling as she asked, “Is everything okay?”
She, a person kept in the dark, was at ease, completely unaware of the anxiety and nervousness in Huangfu Lingyao’s heart.
But he decisively shook his head, “No!”
Even if there were, he wouldn’t dare say!
“Then have you figured out who lied to me?” Liu Shimei asked again, smiling.
Huangfu Lingyao remained silent for a moment. Subconsciously, he wanted to say Shu Yutong, but then thought, “My wife is so fond of Little Water Bucket. If she finds out Little Water Bucket lied to her, she’ll definitely be sad and upset.”
Forget it.
He turned and said, “Isn’t Miao Linglong the one who deceived us? But you still want to help her sick mother!”
Quickly changing the subject, not wanting to revolve around himself, he couldn’t control it!
Liu Shimei followed his line of thought.
Thinking of Miao Linglong, she sighed softly, her complexion also turning unpleasant. She said, “Treating an illness and personal grievances are two different things.”
She pursed her lips and continued, “For now, there is no concrete evidence that Miaolinglong did these things. Treating Madam Miao’s illness is not about saving face. Mainly, it’s for the future of the Fusheng Pavilion. If they come knocking on my door to boost my reputation, I will definitely seize the opportunity. But if they use this as a trap to harm me, I won’t be polite!”
Dealing with petty people requires special methods. Treating Madam Miao’s illness is one thing, but she also left a contingency plan and planted hidden dangers.
As long as Madam Miao or Miao Linglong dare to do anything unfavorable to her, she will detonate this thunder!
Successfully shifting the focus, Huangfu Lingyao felt the back of his clothes soaked with sweat!
The hot weather was one reason, but mainly, he was scared.
He felt even more melancholic in his heart, ‘What should I do in the future? The longer it takes, the more lies I’ll have to tell. There are still two months until the marriage. Should I… just wait until after the wedding to confess?’
There are still two months, hopefully, the Miao family won’t cause any trouble, and Huangfu He can smoothly choose a consort!
But is that possible?
